Homeless will remain homeless and patients will still languish on hospital trolleys under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil - Gerry Adams TD

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said the current sham fight between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil ahs nothing to do with the real issues. Deputy Adams said the people who were homeless on Friday will remain homeless under these two parties and that the hospital trolley scandal will not be resolved under such a coalition.

Speaking from the RDS today Deputy Adams said;

“In this election Sinn Féin fought to get rid of the Fine Gael/Labour government that brought chaos to housing and health, imposed unfair taxes and promoted mass emigration.

“The Fine Gael/Labour government has been rejected.

“The current sham fight between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil is nothing to do with the real issues. The people who were homeless on Friday will remain homeless under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. Today 429 patients languish on trolleys in our hospitals and this will continued under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

“Sinn Féin made clear that we will not prop up the parties that created and sustained the crisis. That is the mandate we received. We will continue to consult with others, including those aligned to the right2change platform, on the way forward.”
